This is how we grow up in Canada

Playing street hockey outside until the sun goes down

Whether it's on a driveway, in a parking lot, or anywhere else they let us set up our nets, we battle for our own homemade versions of the Stanley Cup.

For some of us, these weekend games have turned into monthly games. We're working grown-up jobs, and pursuing other dreams and aspirations.

This Canada Day, it’s time to bring that back and start a new summertime tradition. We’re proud to team up with Southcentre Mall, CRAFT Beer Market, Western Ball Hockey League, and Western Canada Pond Hockey Championship to bring you the ultimate street hockey experience.

Who we are
